I have read the correspondence on this subject with interest. It is not uncommon, particularly in schools, but also in youth and sports clubs, for adolescents to have a 'pash' (for want of a better word) on older people. Yes, they have to be wise enough to recognise this and physically walk away or make sure there is always a third person present or an open door. However, these young people who are discovering their sexuality (hetero- or homo-) can come on quite strong, even to the point of pressing erections against the victim of their fancy.

The older person has to take care not to turn this misguided love into hatred by spurning the younger. He may in a weak moment even be flattered by it, and either consciously or unconsciously encourage it.

The law is a blunt instrument which will always lay the blame at the door of the older person. It would not recognise that he is in fact the victim.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
We treat everyone as having good sense and mature judgement.
